Berkeleyites urinating and more in their own homes

As I wrote in my Tuesday column, the Berkeley City Council is considering banning smoking in multiunit dwellings. In the name of fairness, one councilman wants to add single-family homes.

This morning I received this email (with my italics) from Chuck Hettlinger of Suisun, who clearly understands the absurdity of the Berkeley laws:

Wow, we certainly must stop citizens from smoking in their own single family dwellings. This absurdity offered by Berkeley councilidiot Jesse Arraguin, (The Arrogant) sounds like some diktat from a 17th century tsar or pope. But, then again, he may be on the right track. I don’t know if you realize it, but people are actually urinating and defecating in their very own homes. That’s right, Debra, they’re actually peeing and crapping on the premises! I’ve left messages for all of the appropriate councilturds imploring them to put halt to any bodily function in one’s residence. No return calls yet. Boy, am I surprised!

When I talked to Councilwoman Sue Wengraf Monday, she told me that after Carolyn Jones’ fine story on the issue, some wag left voice-mail messages to this effect all over City Hall. She thought the message was pretty funny. Hettlinger fessed up.

Imagine. Berkeleyites peeing and crapping in their own homes. Something must be done.
